In the Country with Soft Pastels

Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-Bration is in full force – before you know it, it will be gone. With so many great products to earn during Sale-a-Bration, there’s no reason to NOT place your order today. ♥ Today I’m sharing a simple, layered card I made with the In the Country stamp set, one of the Level 1 items you can select with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration. Here’s the card I’ve made to share with you today:

In the Country is not a stamp set I’d normally be drawn to because I like bold lines and vivid images, but there are some great ways to showcase this stamp set. When I came across my Soft Pastels Assortment while organizing over the weekend, I was excited to ink up this set. So glad I did! I liked the finished result so much that I opted to NOT include a sentiment on the outside of the card (which doesn’t often happen for me).

Here’s a look at the In the Country stamp set, a Sale-a-Bration option through the end of February:

The  Soft Pastels Assortment includes Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Poppy Parade chalk pastels. Here’s a look at the under-used Soft Pastels from Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog:

The Soft Pastels Assortment includes chalk pastels that can be paired with Stampin’ Up!’s Sponge Daubers, Blending Brushes, and Water Painters for an artistic look. I stamped the image with VersaMark and swiped the Mossy Meadow soft pastel across the paper, allowing the sticky VersaMark to pick up more of the chalk. I used a Sponge Dauber to blend the chalk into the Thick Very Vanilla around the edges of the paper. So easy!

A simple image deserves many layers of cardstock. That should be a rule! If you like this mix of Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
